Exhibit 31.2
CERTIFICATIONS
I, George H. Haas, certify that:
 
 
1.
 
I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Orchid Island Capital,
 
Inc. (the "registrant");
 
 
2.
 
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
 
statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
 
of the circumstances under
which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
 
the period covered by this report;
 
 
3.
 
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
 
information included in this
report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
 
results of operations and cash
flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
 
 
4.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and
 
maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
 
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
 
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))
for the registrant and have:
 
 
 
a)
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
 
controls and
procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
 
information relating to
the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
 
to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
 
 
 
b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
 
such internal control over
financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
 
reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
 
of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 
principles;
 
 
c)
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and
 
presented in
this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
 
as
of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
 
and
 
 
 
d)
disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in
the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
 
to materially
affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
 
 
5.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
 
most recent evaluation of
internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors
 
and the audit committee of the
registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
 
 
 
 
a)
all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
 
operation of internal control
over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
 
ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
 
 
b)
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
 
employees who have a
significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
